Induced lineage promiscuity undermines the efficiency of all-trans-retinoid-acid-induced differentiation of acute myeloid leukemia.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
All-trans retinoid acid (ATRA) can induce terminal differentiation of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), also known as the M3 subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, non-APL types of AML respond poorly to ATRA-induced differentiation, and the mechanism underlying cell-type-specific resistance against ATRA remains unclear. Here, we use single-cell transcriptome analysis to compare the differentiation trajectories of two AML cell types during ATRA treatment. We show that in NB4 (APL/AML-M3) cells, ATRA activates canonical myeloid lineage factors-including SPI1, CEBPE, and STAT1-to direct near-normal differentiation toward mature granulocytes. By contrast, in HL60 (AML-M2) cells, ATRA-induced differentiation is incomplete and promiscuous, which is characterized by coinduction of both myelopoiesis and lymphopoiesis gene expression programs, as well as transient activation of cis-regulatory elements associated with myeloid differentiation. Our study suggests that the differentiation inducing capacity of ATRA in certain subtypes of AML may be compromised by therapy-induced lineage promiscuity.
